consulting at REI

I have been performing consulting work at REI in the role of a Systems Engineer, proposing tools and system architectures that will assist them in pursuing the implementation of Open Source Economics in Northeast Ohio, as well as other areas of the country. My areas of investigation include:

• Integration of the REI web site, newsletter, databases, and economic analysis tools into a seamless, web-based interface to facilitate economic analysis tool development, the updating and distribution of the newsletter, and the update and archiving of data.
• Improving the REI web site to provide an improved web presence, increased functionality, and an intuitive content management system.
• Integration of the REI web site with the REALNEO virtual community.
